Dear Larry,

This 99 Sqn Wellington is LN-F serial T2501 that failed to return from ops on night of 4th December 1940.

Stangely I cannot find an explaination for why the crew landed intact. Perhaps it was poor navigation in bad weather?

All were taken as POW. Bomber Command Losses 1940 by WR Chorley gives the crew details but still no reason why?
